Have you got young children I wonder?

The ones for the real littlies you tend to lift out these days, and clip onto your pushchair base, or your supermarket trolley whereby you can no longer see where you're going and have the fun sport of pushing a fully laden trolley of groceries, bawling baby and half a tonne of carseat blind around the obstacle course of Tescos on a Friday evening.

Most people seem to do this - I don't because the thing weighs a tonne and is such an annoying shape to manouver around that I ended up with permanently bruised legs doing it - I leave ours clipped in and use the second clippy bit of the seatbelt (our car's one that can fully remove seats so where the bottom fixed point would normally be in a seatbelt is another seatbelty clip bit so you can wind the seatbelt right back with the seat out) to just make it easier to pop her in and out of the carseat... cos the wretched thing's a pain in the rear and roll on when she's bigger for a less irritating seat!

I could quite easily manage without P+C spaces if I had to - I'd just park further away from the doors so I could grab an aisle end space where possible. But they're there - so I'll use one if one's free.

What gets me REALLY annoyed while we're ranting is when supermarkets put the P+C spaces nearer the store entrance than the disabled bays!

Many of us have ......... its not something exclusive to this generation

so this child was in fact trespassing, its a shame it happened but maybe the parents should take responsibilty to keep their child under closer watch

What a ridiculous thing to say. The child is too young to be 'guilty' of committing any offence - civil or criminal - of 'trespass'. The age of responsibility in UK law is ten years old. The child wandered off. Heap all the blame on the child's family if you will and exonerate the dog (and the dog's charming owner) but for heaven's sake - this was a toddler!
